y conquering our bad habits Time To Take Control ARE YOU ADDICTED TO NICOTINE, ALCOHOL & OTHER HARMFUL BEHAVIOURS? NEW to Marlborough An innovative technique combining traditional & modern practices of hypnotherapy & needle-free acupuncture. redirected. Chris has reassured me that there are absolutely no risks or side effects to this treatment. If you are a sceptic like me, I had to see this to believe it. A friend of mine has developed difficulty in situations when she is surrounded by people she doesn't know – her confidence and ability to interact was lost and preventing her from enjoying a social life. I asked Chris if she would try her technique on my friend. Even though the technique hadn't been used for this specific concern, Chris was happy to give it a go. A few days later my friend and I were catching up with a small group of friends, some of whom were not known to her, and for the first time in months, she was looking forward to the social occasion! Her confidence seemed to have been restored. Hand on heart, this is true! I was also able to speak to two other women who had been Chris’s patients and the common theme was how amazed they were that the treatment worked so well, one referring to it as a miracle! Arlene was a heavy smoker for twenty years and after numerous attempts to give up, was feeling defeated and disappointed that she couldn't kick this habit she so desperately wanted to stop. Sick of the health, social and financial strains the addiction was having on her life, she decided to try Chris’s technique. An hour later, Arlene walked out of the treatment room without any urges at all. Weeks later, she has not touched or even felt the need to roll a cigarette. Barbara, also smoke-free after Chris’s treatment, came to tell me about her daughter’s desire to achieve weight loss and sustain a healthy eating plan. After a sporting injury, her daughter slowly began to put on weight. After working with Chris, Barbara was amazed to watch her daughter change her diet overnight. Instead of the takeaways and sweet treats her daughter constantly snacked on, she now craved more substantial and healthy meals, which boosted her mood and she began to lose the weight she had gained. Within weeks, her daughter had lost 8 kg and was back to her pre-injury athletic physique and was now enjoying a healthier appetite. This really resonated with me and to my excitement, Chris tells me that my sweet tooth cravings could be non-existent with this treatment. I’m totally giving this a go! The most important thing to remember about this treatment is that it will only work when the patient is absolutely committed to beating their addiction and prepared to take ownership of their behaviour. (This is why I haven't booked my sweet-eating appointment yet - I’m not quite ready to give up the cream bun and cookie addiction I have going on right now, but my scales are telling me I will be soon, and when I do, I’ll be sure to share my success!). When you are completely ready to give up the smokes, the drink, the unhealthy foods, the anxious behaviours affecting your life, let Chris treat you in confidence.
